Project Kneaded Dough fundraiser supporting family in need

Posted

During the month of April, Avenue Bread will donate 25 cents of every loaf of bread sold to Animals as Natural Therapy (ANT).

Avenue Bread’s closest location is at 444 Front Street, Lynden, but it also boasts participating locations in downtown Bellingham, the separate James Street location in Bellingham and Fairhaven.

ANT is a registered non-profit which offers programs for both at-risk youth and veterans. These programs connect youth and veterans with animals “based on the knowledge that animals can teach humans important life skills” according to their website. ANT operates out of Bellingham, but serves all of Whatcom County.

According to Jessie Pemble, assistant executive director of ANT, this particular fundraiser is raising money to support a low-income family of five in ANT’s programs. The family recently lost their house unexpectedly, have been homeless during the past year and the children were almost sent into foster care. Support this family by buying bread at Avenue Bread this April.

For more information about ANT, to volunteer or register a participant visit animalsasnaturaltherapy.org or call 360/671-3509.
